5. Alcides Escobar
Escobar is the total package at shortstop. Errr — he does lack pop. In fact, his power is anemic. Everything else is fantastic. He has a legitimate glove for the position, is a great contact hitter (.304 in 125 AB in a short stint last year) and has blazing speed. Escobar should steal 40 bags next year with ease.

There is plenty of news this weekend about any potential Prince Fielder contract, and the Brewers beat reporters have been all over it. McCalvy reports that owner Mark Attanasio is saying that there "is no deadline" for a contract to be agreed upon. Meanwhile Anthony Witrado has Attanasio saying any offer they make to Fielder "won't be for show", as many people claim the Brewers offer to CC Sabathia was. And Tom Haudricourt has been tweeting his heart out about the matter: Fielder says he'll have final call on any contract offer, even with Scott Boras as his agent; Attanasio and GM Doug Melvin had a meeting Saturday, with the "process" of putting together an offer to Prince being a part of it; and Attanasio says that he will be a part of any contract negotiations with the big guy. Nothing really ground-breaking, but it looks like we might be nearing the time that the Brewers finally do put out an offer to the star first baseman.

Meanwhile, the Brewers other superstar, Ryan Braun, has also been a popular subject lately. McCalvy sat down with the left fielder for a discussion on the upcoming season and Brauns "life theories." He also has a role in a new Dick's Sporting Goods commercial (h/t brewerfan). And as part of his spring training preview, Haudricourt profiles Braun's ability to mix his baseball career with his business career. The JS also has the depth chart for left field as well, with no real surprises.

I think Wisconsin could make the final 4 (call me a homer a bit that's fine). I think UK is completely capable of laying an egg against a team like UW.

MU worries me a bit against New Mexico, but if they can get to the sweet 16, we've already seen that they can hang around with WV and should have won that game on the road no less. Washington and New Mexico have a slight advantage of playing closer to home though.

It would amazing if UW and MU played each other in the elite 8, but it's rather unlikely.

I can't believe Wisconsin still got a 4 seed. They usually get screwed in seeding and losing in the first round of the Big Ten tournament would've given the committee a reason to drop them down to say a 6 seed.

I had Georgetown in the Sweet 16 in one bracket and Elite 8 in the other. So they kind of screwed me. Not as much as my brother though. I just found out today that he picked Georgetown to win the title. Talk about a screwed bracket.
